Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.

Join us for an SOF Digital Discussion featuring Walter Isaacson, professor of history at Tulane and former CEO of the Aspen Institute, on his latest literary work which recounts Dr. Jennifer Doudna’s journey to a scientific discovery that would change the human race forever, allowing diseases to be cured, viruses to be fended off, and babies to be healthier. In addition to sharing thoughts about the research and writing process, Isaacson will share insights he learned about the impact of CRISPR technology and the moral questions that have arisen as a result of the monumental development.
